3 skunks walk into a church one Sunday. The preacher say to them "I'm sorry but you're going to have to sit in your own pew." How's That?

Hah! Hah! Love it. This is not a pun, but: What's the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? A Methodist will say hello to you if you run into him at the liquor store....

There was a never a Christian or Catholic prohibition on alcohol, just on misbehaviors you may commit while on it.

The Christian anti-alcohol thing in the south started during the great revivals of the early 1800s. Baptist and Methodist cuircuit preachers and revival preachers looked to attract working class southerners by inveighing against the diversions of well-off southerners -- gambling, dancing, drinking, etc. It was a sociological clarion call that had nothing to do with Christian theology or Christian historical practice.

New England prohibition has also comes out of early 19th rigoristic Christian revivals, but within the Congregationalist tradition (not Baptist or Methodist, as in the south).

It seems there was this minister who just had all of his remaining teeth pulled and new dentures were being made.

The first Sunday, he only preached 10 minutes.

The second Sunday, he preached only 20 minutes.

But, on the third Sunday, he preached 1 hour 25 minutes.

When asked about this by some of the congregation, he responded this way.

The first Sunday, my gums were so sore it hurt to talk.

The second Sunday, my dentures were hurting a lot.

The third Sunday, I accidentally grabbed my wife's dentures... and I couldn't stop talking!

There's a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist. Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts "Praise the Lord!".

The atheist yells back, "There is no God".

She does this every morning with the same result. As time goes on the lady runs into financial difficulties and has trouble buying food. She goes out onto the porch and asks God for help with groceries, then says "Praise the Lord".

The next morning she goes out onto the porch and there's the groceries she's asked for, of course she says "Praise the Lord".

The atheist jumps out from behind a bush and says, "Ha, I bought those groceries - there is no God".

The lady looks at him and smiles, she shouts "Praise the Lord --- not only did you provide for me Lord, you made Satan pay for the groceries!"

@sinner 8:38pm: Sorry, had to go out for a little bit. I haven't read that monograph, but the rise of anti-alcohol/gambling/dancing in the south 200 years ago is part of standard American history-of-religion books...
